Land acknowledgement
We acknowledge the land on which we sit and occupy at the University of Oregon in Portland. "The Portland Metro Area rests on traditional village sites of the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other tribes who made their homes along the Columbia River creating communities and summer encampments to harvest and use the plentiful natural resources of the area" (Portland Indian Leaders Roundtable, 2018). We take this opportunity to thank the original caretakers of this land. Read more about Portland's diverse and vibrant Native community.
